In my case it turns out it was draft excluder, the sponginess of which was pushing the door back open each time it appears to be closed.

I peeled off the draft excluder and now a door which had been opening of its own accord it’s now closing securely.

Thank you for the article.

But I kept thinking somehow this had to be the door latch. Well geez and I was right. So I got my little girlie toolbox out and set to change the door knob. No such luck. So then to the internet to find my new favorite DIY page. It was such clear and easy to understand instructions that I figured it out first try. Thank you so much. I can now have a wee bit of privacy in my own home again!!!
